28th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-9; ran some good races for Harry Eustace but has regressed sharply in handicaps and shouldn't be troubling Flight Radar on these terms. |

25th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Continues to drop down the weights and didn't run badly when fifth of seven in first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) three weeks ago; however, he's struggled in the main this season; no headgear today. |

Interesting on his maiden/novice efforts for Harry Eustace last season but hasn't beaten a rival in three runs for current yard; hooded last time and now in cheekpieces. |

pulled hard, led at fast pace, soon clear with one other, went clear after 3f, much reduced lead over 4f out |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Promise in two novice events at around 1m on soft/heavy as a 2yo; was then absent for 570 days and has finished well beaten on both outings since (7f, 1m, tailed off on good to firm last time); should do better back on easier ground; up markedly in trip. |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Placed in both starts in 2022; missed 2023 and seemed to need his reappearance run eight weeks ago; forecast faster ground is an unknown on handicap debut (raced only on soft/heavy). |

12th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
A break may have helped and he's just 1lb higher than when winning at Newcastle (2m, AW) last October; however, he was down the field there in December on his first two runs for this yard; something to prove on return. |

20th Dec 2024 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Record of 32123 over 2m at Newcastle in his final five runs for D O'Meara; struggled on recent stable debut but the drop back to 1m4f was against him and he now takes a big step back up in trip; has claims if he can recapture his spark and he's not ruled out; visor the headgear of choice today. |

24th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He made a winning handicap debut at Chelmsford in June (1m2f) when sent off at 100-1; back at that level when a close third of nine at Wolverhampton ten days ago (1m4f); in the mix with a repeat. |
10/1 |

3rd 8 (5) |
14th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Caused a shock when winning off this mark at Chelmsford (1m2f; 100-1) in June; not disgraced since but needs more back up in trip. |
8/1 |

7th 4 (5) |
31st Aug 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Kept on gamely to cause 100-1 shock over C&D on handicap debut in June and has held his form pretty well since; can sometimes race a bit too freely but probably won't be far away. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Second in a division of this last year (soft) and three wins this term; ran okay when fifth of 13 at Beverley last time and not ruled out. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

A dual C&D scorer in the summer; didn't fire in 1m Haydock handicap 17 days ago but no surprise if he bounces back here. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

Starspangledbanner filly who has been brought along steadily, looking in need of the run when sixth in 7f Thirsk maiden in April; she can take a step forward now handicapping with cheekpieces added. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a Newcastle handicap (1m, AW) in January and was returning from an absence when beaten a nose at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago; she will need a lot more in order to figure in this company. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Mostly a hold-up mare; two wins from just five starts here feature a success over this trip (soft) two years ago and another over 6f (good to firm) last May; on her third trainer when scoring over 1m at Newcastle (AW) in January but she'll need to be better than ever to defy this mark on her first start since February; this could set up quite nicely, though. |

9th 3 (12) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Registered a half-length success over C&D four weeks ago on first crack at 1m and only her second AW attempt; unexposed over this trip and in this sphere; enters calculations up just 2lb. |

Verdict
With Man Of A’An tailed off on his stable debut and Eastvan returning from a lengthy absence, this is a race where some of the more obvious form candidates have something to prove. Money for one of the newcomers would be significant but, as things stand, perhaps ROYAL PRAISE can take another step forward and make a winning turf debut. Moneypiece didn’t live up to market expectation on her debut but she should do better this year and may prove the main danger.[Paul Smith]
